Wellbeing

The four wellbeing questions use a 11-point scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 10 for each question, where 0 is equivalent to 'not at all' (e.g. 'not at all satisfied' or 'not at all worthwhile') and where 10 is equivalent to 'completely' (e.g. 'completely satisfied' or 'completely anxious').

For questions W01, W02 and W03 the percent positive is the proportion answering 7, 8, 9 or 10 to each question.

Proxy Stress Index This index aligns to the Health and Safety Executive's stress management tool, using the 8 questions from the People Survey shown below. We calculate it in the same way as the Employee Engagement Index. We have 'inverted' the final index so that it is a measure of conditions which can add to stress rather than alleviate stress, i.e. a higher index score represents a more stressful environment.

| Question | % positive | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------| | B05 I have a choice in deciding how I do my work | 65% | | B08 My manager motivates me to be more effective in my job | 72% | | B18 The people in my team can be relied upon to help when things get | 85% | | difficult in my job | | | B26 I am treated with respect by the people I work with | 84% | | B30 I have clear work objectives | 82% | | B33 I have an acceptable workload | 55% | | B45 I have the opportunity to contribute my views before decisions are | 39% | | made that affect me | | | E03 Have you been bullied or harassed at work, in the past 12 months?\*\* | 80% |

Difference from previous survey: -2 Difference from CS2019: +2 Difference from CS High Performers: +4

PERMA Index This index measures the extent to which employees are ‘flourishing’ in the workplace around the 5 dimensions: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment. The index is computed using the questions from the People Survey shown below and combining them in the same way as the Employee Engagement Index. A high score represents a greater proportion of employees agreeing with the statements below or rating the two wellbeing questions as high.

| Question | % positive | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------| | B01 I am interested in my work | 92% | | B03 My work gives me a sense of personal accomplishment | 83% | | B18 The people in my team can be relied upon to help when things get | 85% | | difficult in my job | | | W01 Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays? | 67% | | W02 Overall, to what extent do you feel that the things you do in your | 73% | | life are worthwhile? | |

% positive indicates statistically significant difference from comparison \*\* this is a negatively phrased question where % positive is the proportion who selected "no" Appendix

Glossary of key terms

% positive The proportion who selected either "agree" or "strongly agree" for a question (or all questions within a theme in the case of Theme score % positive), unless otherwise indicated.

Previous survey Comparisons to the previous survey relate to the results from the 2018 Civil Service People Survey. Where a question is flagged as changed since the last survey (^) comparisons should be treated with caution as changes to wording may affect how people respond to the question.

CS2019 The CS2019 benchmark is the median percent positive (unless otherwise indicated) across all Civil Service organisations that participated in the 2019 Civil Service People Survey, where data was not suppressed.

CS High Performers For each question, unless otherwise indicated, this is the upper quartile score across all Civil Service organisations that took part in the 2019 Civil Service People Survey, where data was not suppressed. For question W04 and the Proxy Stress Index, we have used the lower quartile.

Difference from benchmark For these questions, the benchmark is the median percent positive (unless otherwise indicated) across all Civil Service organisations that selected these questions for inclusion in their 2019 Civil Service People Survey, so it is not representative of the whole Civil Service.

Rounding Results are presented as whole numbers for ease of reading, with rounding performed at the last stage of calculation for maximum accuracy. Therefore in some instances, the differences presented in this report will not match the rounded figures of the scores being compared. For example, if your unrounded Engagement Index score is 75.43647583%, your organisation overall's score is 74.63572484% and the difference between the two is +0.800751%, in this report these scores would appear as 75%, 75% and +1.

Statistical significance: Statistical testing has been carried out to identify statistically significant differences between your results and a number of comparators. You can therefore be confident that the difference represents a real difference in opinion between the results. Please note that there needs to be 30 responses at question level, 20 responses at theme level and 10 responses at index level for statistical testing to be carried out on the corresponding scores. If you received a lower number of responses, then statistical significance testing won't have been conducted.

The employee engagement index The survey includes five questions that make up the engagement index (B47-B51). The index score represents the average level of engagement in that unit and ranges from 0 to 100. An index score of 0 represents all respondents in that unit saying they strongly disagree to all five engagement questions and a score of 100 represents all respondents saying they strongly agree to all five engagement questions.

Confidentiality The survey was carried out as part of the 2019 Civil Service People Survey, which is managed by the Cabinet Office on behalf of all participating organisations. The Cabinet Office commissioned ENGINE Transformation to carry out the survey. ENGINE Transformation is a member of the Market Research Society, and is bound by their strict code of conduct and confidentiality rules. These rules do not allow for the breakdown of the results to the extent where the anonymity of individuals may be compromised. Groups of fewer than 10 respondents will not be reported on, however their responses do contribute to the overall scores for the unit and organisation they belong to and the overall Civil Service results.
